You know that feeling where it feels others are light years ahead of you? You feel stuck, not seeing things payoff, wondering if it will ever turn around? All you see are revenue screenshots, 7-figures, 8-figures, acquisitions, investments, followers… And you actually begin to question, even devalue, or see yourself as…less. Few weeks back, I spoke with an old friend + fellow entrepreneur who got caught up in this comparison trap. It’s a dangerous thing for our minds when it feels like everyone else is winning BUT you. We chatted for a couple hours, but I think a few things stood out from the conversation - - No one is constantly killing it - there’s a lot of BS out there. - Be more conscious of consumption and stop chasing shiny objects. - As an entrepreneur, efforts matter and one just needs more time in the game to find an edge! - No taking failures personally - instead simplify and focus with each blow. - And finally, trusting that you will figure it out. Let’s be real, we probably all feel this way from time to time. I have felt it too in the past. Not comparing is a good beginning - easier said than done, of course. As my friend Greg likes to say, comparison is the thief of joy, keep your head up and move forward!

So many startups use vanity metrics (like employee count? Instagram followers?) and end up moving in wrong direction, or even worse, not moving at all. Figuring out the handful of 2-3 metrics to monitor on a weekly/monthly basis can already put you on the right track from day 1. Go Go Go!!

It’s fascinating to see how giants like Slack and Amazon keep score. They don’t just chase numbers; they track metrics that truly reflect their growth and customer satisfaction. It's an art – knowing which numbers to watch and how to interpret them. #BusinessInsights #GrowthMetrics

Founder of ZipTalents | Discover Open Jobs in iGaming, Fintech & Luxury Hospitality – Join our free channel t.me/ziptalents
A few years ago (2017), I was at an event hosted by Grant Cardone I had the luck to stop him and directly ask one question The question I asked was uber dumb 🤦♂️ but his answer helped me, and later my clients, grow sales and revenue faster. Much faster. Here's my question: -> Hey Grant, how can I make millions, but for real, how can I do it? I'm sharing his answer with you. Read it. Think about it. Find gaps in your knowledge and skills. Fill that gap, and rock! > Hey Grant, how can I make millions, but for real, how can I do it? He answered-> Man, that's really easy, just create some attention, channel it, and monetize it. Nothing more dude. PS I know, I know, yes, it's obvious and it looks easy. But how good are you at those three things??? #sales #revenue #growth

I bought a business. What a ride. A ton of ups, downs, and lessons over the last year to rehash which I’ll be doing in the coming posts. But I’ll start with how this even came about. I started searching for a business to buy in March after being introduced to the ETA (entrepreneurship through acquisition) world just a few weeks prior. I jumped on Twitter, heard about the book Buy Then Build, bought it, and read that thing front to back like that day. I was sold. Thanks, Walker! Since college grad in 2019, I've done some real estate stuff, started a rental car business, and worked full-time in dental consulting (a fancy way to say we helped dentists get into private practice). But after struggling to find my way through it all, this just felt right. So I started searching. I was quickly humbled by the fact that I had no idea what I was doing. I don’t have an MBA, I don’t have true small business experience and I sure don’t know how to read between the lines of a financial statement. When you dive into the acquisition world, there’s a blueprint you're convinced to follow. “Buy the $1M + EBIDTA business or you’re buying yourself another job” Sounds nice, in theory. Making close to $1M a year running a small business with little to no experience? I’m in! But I wanted 2 things in my first acquisition: - 100% ownership - Autonomy So with the cash I had available, buying that size business wouldn’t work. And again, that voice was creeping... telling me that anything under $1M EBIDTA would be overpaying for a full-time job. There’s risk in everything we do, and the risk I faced was staying the course and not doing what felt scary and uncomfortable. If I failed and lost it all… at least I learned what not to do and could share that with you. So I got to work. I outlined the deal and what I'm up to now here -> www.shawnallard.co

💼 2024: Time to Declutter! 💼 As we embark on a brand new year, it's time to consider what we no longer need. We all have items lying around, collecting dust, but have you ever considered that those very items could be a new source of income? This year, challenge yourself to turn clutter into cash. Instead of letting unused items take up space, why not sell them? You'll be surprised at how quickly small earnings can add up, and just how satisfying a decluttered space can be. So, as we step into 2024, let's make it a year of smart choices and tidy spaces. Who's ready to put their entrepreneurial hat on and join me on this journey? #SellItOff #SellItOffDotCom #2024 #NewYear #NewYearNewGoals #Decluttering2024

I haven't set profit numbers as a Target yet at Athyuk Retail Ventures , Because! That's not my goal. As an entrepreneur It is extremely critical to understand to build a solid strategic road map by virtue of a competent team, well-oiled process, clear market understanding and product-positioning. I'm not interested in crores, maybe because, it is too small as compared to my big picture and I'm too excited about the big picture and what it has in store for me. As successful businessmen always say, we should always be driven by a strong desire and strategic road map and not by mere profit numbers. Money lies in where a strong desire is. That desire need not be for making money alone but for a purpose and big picture. You don't have to chase after money and let it run after you by setting a big picture in front of you and keep yourself anchored around it. Share your thoughts if this makes sense.

CEO & Co-Founder at True Finance | Forbes Business Council Member ⎸ Building the Ultimate Money App 📲
Startup life is like a rollercoaster 🎢 One day everything is going right! Only to hit a wall the next. Justin Welsh has some advise for all of us. 1. Look at your data 2. Talk to your customers When was the last time you made a pivot by taking this advise? At True Finance - We take both seriously. We got slammed with poor ⭐️ star reviews. Why? Customers want their cash advance the same day! We currently have standard 2-3 business day ACH. I know, it's lame. But this was temporary. I've always followed the rules "Stay Lean + Move Fast & Adjust" Today we are adding same day transfers at no extra cost to customers. Our competitors all took a different model on Cash Advance transfers. 2-3 Business Days (free) Instant Advance ($3.99) But we didn't feel right charging customers $3.99 on a $25 - $100 Advance. So we worked with Plaid to add their transfers product, providing our customers with a same day advance at no extra cost. That's right, no more 2-3 business day options. Everyone wins! Now we hope to see more happy customers and more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews.
